= THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1929. * SYNOPSIS: An accusing fin- | ger points at Jerry Ogden as fhe slayer of his father. Jerry's fferences with him on re- flnmg the deserted Torridity mine, their long conference just before the murder and 's flight cast ugly implica- tions. John Pcebles feels a gnawing dread of the evidence Jerry and dccides that hé will not disclose his dam- secrets beeause he is con- ¥inced that Jorry, engaged to Peebles’ nicce, Lucy, is innocent. Torridity, ghost town of the desert, is being drawn into the ‘maze; Torridity, once dominat- e by Alex FPeterson, whose gold bullets and gold-mounted reyolver had been bought by Ppebles is a mystery-tinted transaction.

I had known Andrew as man endowed with a fine collectior of ‘“civic virtues.” I mean he was conscientious and eminent- ly respectable, restrained and ju- dicial and successful, a pillar of the church and a member of the chamber of commerce.

Copies of the circular will also go to many others whose names appear on the Commission’s mailing list. | Revised regulations appearing in| this circular were published on| April 2, and will become effective July 1, 1929, Game Animals To accommodate those residents of the Territory living north of the | Arctic Circle who must necessar- ily depend entirely upon game for their meat supply, the close sea- son on Caribou has been removed. | The removal of this close season! does not, however, affect the bag limit which remains at five ani- mals that each person is permitted to Kkill. The number of Caribou a 1on-/ resident is permitted to kill on the Alaska Peninsula, has been 1e- duced from two to one. | Responsive to an appeal from res- | idents of the Kodiak-Afognak Is-' land Group for permission to pro-, tect their grazing livestock, the present regulations permitting the killing of the large brown and grizzly bear when such animal is about to attack or molest persons or property, have been liberalized to permit a resident of Kodiak, Afognak, Raspberry, Spruce and Sitkalidak, engaged in agricultural pursuits, to kill a bear at any time or place such animal is considered a menace to persons, livestock or property. The former provision permitting the killing of such a bear when found within one-half mile of a residence or human hahi- tation, has been changed to read one mile, and applies to the whole of the Territory.
